PC Gamer’s latest podcast has recently been posted. It’s a special one. And by “special” I mean “deranged”. The usual master of ceremonies, Ross “hello and welcome to the PC Gamer podcast” Atherton was indisposed. Or dead. It’s not clear. And the result was confusion and mayhem. Fortunately I was there to make this worse.
Graham Smith, Tim Edwards, Craig Pearson and little old I discuss the newer releases, and then get into what’s coming out next year. As well as nonsensical asides and what is unquestionably the worst opening to a podcast in history. You can get it directly here. Oh, and I attended last month’s too. That’s here.
Where’s Ross???
report
I can atually hear Graham Smith’s beard. Impressive.
report
“I’m your host and editor” always bothered me. I mean, god knows I need an editor, and badly, but still… it’s worrysome to hear some claim that they edit me without my knowledge or consent. Brrr.
report
Have I been travelling in time again… I could swear I listened to this sometime last week.
report
You’re right Seniath. The PCG podcast link on their site isn’t updated, because they’re naughty.
report
Can we expect some more RPS Wireless Show then, if KG has the time to go cavorting around in podcasts with those fine gents?
report
ohh, i second the call for more wireless show, but this will make for some excellent listning
report
They need time to find more broken mic’s first. Quality static like that takes effort.
report
Great sound quality.
report
Yeah…the sound quality is often the first and only thing I comment upon.
The PCG podcast continues to entertain me. The general feel of it all is miles better than the US one, although they still get points for being weekly. And the PCG one tends to fook up my GoogleReader-thang.
report
I heard this last week, but I’m sure all those that subscribe to KG’s blog who haven’t heard it yet appreciate you telling them. >:)
report
“Well, good, excellent!” :D
report
I listen to the American version. I can only stand so much British accent.
report
Damn britishers and your crazy accents.

It is kind of fascinating how no one cares about voice acting. I haven’t played Fallout 3 but is it actually that no one cares or is the acting actually marginally better than the generally abysmal standard of games voice acting throughout time? (further; I wonder what I’d think of it, as someone who thinks that Valve’s stuff is in the ‘could be better’ pile? Does this merely make me a persnickety arse perhaps?)
Anyway, I’ve never heard anyone pronounce URL as ‘earl’ without it being a joke. So my cultural life is richer right there.

Greatest Voice Acting Ever – World of Goo!
report
Boy?! What happened to Tom Francis and Ross Atherton? The show was good back when they were on it. I’m never watching this claptrap again! BOO. BOO I SAY.
report
I’m still waiting for more info on Atherton though. From Tim Edwards’ blog: “My boss, Ross, has been taken off the magazine, leaving me with the day to day management.”
Eh?
report
I echo Myth’s comment, where is Ross?!
report
Ross is dead.
report
This can’t be true! I demand the truth from you John!
report
Dead great!
report
Now thats more like it :D
report
That’s still not the whole truth. He’s merely pleasing us with facts. Dare they replace the editor that cheerfully introduces every (bar this one) Podcast? It just doesn’t make sense…
report
Does it have subtitles? Mutt’n'jeff, me!
report
Ross’s absence is temporary, mine is even temporarier – I should be in the next one. If Ross can’t join us, you won’t be able to tell – my own impression of him is that good.
report
Glad to hear that Ross isn’t dead nor dead from PCG. And if he is, then the comforting tones of Tom’s impression will suffice.
The PCG podcast should have an impression section. All involved do an impression of the selected person. First time being Ross, then J.C. Denton, then the character they played with for Fallout 3! =D
